“If Mother Nature puts one inch of snow on the ground, businesses close, bus service is delayed or cancelled and schools lock their doors,” The Atlantic Cities wrote about Seattle on Thursday. We apparently made the online magazine’s Top 8 U.S. cities for “crummiest winters.”

It’s true that some of us get urgently excited (i.e., panicked) about a few snowflakes. And the build-up to last year’s “Snowmageddon” was pretty silly, because it wasn’t the record-breaking apocalypse as predicted.

But come on. That storm, back in January 2012, did drop a half-foot of snow in Seattle, followed by crippling ice. And we look like a pretty tough city in the photos above.

But at least we aren’t San Francisco, which Atlantic Cities said has the “lamest” winters, with its always “mediocre,” snowless weather. Nor were we Los Angeles, deemed to have the “car destroyingest” winters, due to rain-fed potholes.
